The Mir Reentry Observation Expedition hopes to set a new webcast viewing record in six days, March 22 at 1:30am EST. They are sending up three planes to fly about 200 miles from splashdown and record in HDTV for immediate rebroadcast on the group's Website, MirReentry.com. Article on Business2.0.
1) other than the first part of the banner animation, I didn't think it was too National Geographic-esque
2) in the teeny-tiny credits at the bottom it gives the name of the webmaster as David Citron. Not a guarantee that he's an English speaker, but that doesn't sound non-English-speaking (e.g. Russian) to me.
For those of you with RealPlayer, here's a story about this project and the re-entry itself from NPR

1) What's with the National Geographic-esque banner?
2) Was the site's copy written by someone whose native tongue is English?
